Burning in Love // Fantastic Four

09; woah

a/n: literally my life sucks rn like I broke my phone and then I broke my iPad and I only have his crappy old phone my mom used to have and it doesn't have a SIM card so I can't even text or call and I'm up to here in shit I just can't do it anymore. Like I'm actually to a point where I just came home sobbing tonight because I already have so much going on and I use writing as an outlet from that type of stuff and now I literally have none of the devices I use to actually write. I stole my moms iPod just to write this quick. Anyways enjoy. lots of love, ash❤️❤️

I took the day off for 2 reasons. 1) I needed to get out of that lab and Reed's rampage to finish as soon as possible. 2) It was Sue's study day and Reed and Sue needed to find a way to talk without us around. Oddly I thought I still wouldn't be able to get away from the others for a day to myself but Johnny was having to much fun with Luke to even leave the living room and Ben was in his room all day to keep the stares on the down low as much as possible. I laid on my bed, glasses on and reruns of Friends playing.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

"Come in" I rolled my eyes. I had spoken to soon about being able to get away.

"Hey I've been texting you all day" Lawrence walked in a smile wide on his face, reaching his eyes. He was completely handsome in a geeky way.

"Oh sorry, my phone was on silent. And I honestly don't know where it is" I chuckled digging through the mounds of blankets on my bed. I finally spotted it to notice I had missed 32 texts from Lawrence.

"I'm sorry again. It was my day off-"

"That's perfect!" he exclaimed setting his cross bag on my dresser.

"What do you mean?" I asked standing and wrapping my beige cardigan around me. I still wore a grey tank top with some pajama pants. My hair was tucked high on my head in a bun. It was obvious I hadn't left my bed all day.

"We can study your powers. No one expects you to be around already. We can go to one of the lab rooms that aren't being used. We can make up some excuse about it if we get caught. It's perfect" he used the word perfect again as if it made some big explanation for everything.

"Can I get coffee first?" I asked and his eyebrows raised as he looked at his wristwatch.

"You and coffee at 2 in the afternoon. Are you feeling okay?" he reached out to touch my forehead but I pushed his arm away.

"I'm fine but I wasn't planning on working so now I need something to wake me up before I use my brain" I rolled my eyes at him. I put my contacts in and left him in my bedroom as I walked to the kitchen. He strutted after me as I walked through the building. As I entered the kitchen I saw Johnny and Luke stuffing their faces with pizza.

"There she is" Johnny smirked as I moved to the coffee machine putting in a filter.

"Yes, she lives" I said sarcastically in third person as I finished and the coffee started brewing.

"Oh look at that. My mug isn't there. Oh whatever should I ever do" I glared at Johnny as I grabbed Bens. He hadn't been able to use it anyway. His hands were to large for the already large cup that looked miniature compared to him. Luke laughed at Johnny as he got flustered. He knew I was upset about the mug yet why wouldn't I be. Lawrence had sat at the table, Luke offering him a slice.

"Thanks. I'm Lawrence. Emma's brother" Lawrence held out his hand for the handsome dark haired man.

"Luke, Johnny's bestfriend" he said as Lawrence smiled and took a bite of the slice he was offered. I moved to fill the mug when I was cut off from all movement as hands landed on either side of me, holding the counter. His breath hit the back of my neck and I straightened up. I immediately knew who it was. His chin found its walk in the crook of my neck.

"How is it. Even dressed down you're so god damn beautiful" he whispered and I lightly shivered.

"How is it you still have a flirty comment left in your body after how many you use" he chuckled lightly.

"You have to always have one when you're constantly surrounded by someone so beautiful" I stirred my coffee as he lightly kissed my neck.

"My brother is in here right now you know" he just chuckled. His lips brushed lightly on my skin causing the hairs on my arms to stand up.

"Luke's got him pretty distracted" he pulled away and sat at the table again. I looked to Lawrence who continued to shove the slice of pizza into his mouth. Once he noticed my stare his eyes widened and he smiled sheepishly.

"I guess you're ready to go" I nodded and he chuckled standing from his chair and wiping his mouth. As he followed me towards the lab I giggled lightly at him.

"What I was hungry" he exclaimed but I just continued to giggle as we stepped into an upper lab room. I started to set up an explain each machine to Lawrence as I attached cords and stuff to my head and vitals.

"As I use my powers you're gonna look at these and write down notes about everything happening. Got it?" he nodded and I sat on the table removing my cardigan. I trusted him seeing as Lawrence shared the same passion for science as a kid just like me. Yet about 2 years into college he got his hands on a camera and hasn't put it down since. He still loved science but photography was his passion and always will be.

"Okay I guess we'll start" he said and I nodded slowly starting to use my powers lifting a small table. He watched the screens his eyes wide as he wrote stuff down. I spun the table around midair as he let out an excited chuckle.

"This is amazing. It's almost as if your thoughts have gained some type of physical reaction so anything you think an object can do it will do it" he scribbled stuff down on the paper quickly.

"I wonder how strong it's force is?" he looked to me and I sighed focusing on the table before flinging it into the wall. Almost exactly like what Ben did with chair had happened.

"That was almost as strong as Ben!" he exclaimed. I'm pretty sure my brother is more excited about my powers than me. What a dork.

A look of confusion crept on his face as he looked to the ground. It was almost like he was trying to hear something. What was he thinking? All of a sudden a loud noise burst, my hands flinging to my ears as if I just broke a barrier. Voices practically screamed as I cried out and they got louder as Lawrence's face filled with worry and he ran towards me.

"What happened?" he asked and I furrowed my eyebrows at him.

"You didn't hear that?" I asked and he shook his head. How did he not hear that? It was so loud.

"I just was wondering what you were thinking than loud voices just filled my head. It was like they were screaming" he furrowed his eyebrows before walking away from me.

"Did you say I was a dork earlier?" he asked and my eyes widened.

"I didn't say it outloud"

"Well Em it's offical. Your brain is bigger and smarter than anything you've ever seen. You can literally get inside of mine. I heard you loud and clear when you called me a dork and as soon as you unlocked my thoughts you were hit with all of them at once and that's why it was so loud. Try again but focus on one thing" he said and I nodded and looked at him. I searched his eyes as I tried as hard as I could.

'Your superhero name should be Wonder' I stood and tried to get out of his thoughts the force sending his rolling chair across the room and into a wall.

"Woah" he said as he smashed into the wall amazed my emotional reaction had practically hit him like a giant gust of wind.

"I don't need a superhero name because I told you I wasn't a superhero" and he sighed but let it go. I pulled the cords away from me and sighed as I took his notes and read them. My vitals stayed completely normal and the brain spikes acted as if I was just doing a small action but I was just sitting there as I made things move around.

"I'll see you later" I mumbled and he nodded as I ran out the room with my notes and back to my own bedroom where I could continue to have my day off and watch Friends.
